paul929207 Posted April 1, 2007 #2 Share Posted April 1, 2007 I agree. I think anyone who is considering a cruise should be applying for a passport now. Today, it may just be an insurance policy, in case you need to fly to/from a foriegn country. In a year, it will be mandatory for most cruisers. To many people will wait till the last minute and then we will see comlaints because the State Department is slow. Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toto2Kansas Posted April 1, 2007 #3 Share Posted April 1, 2007 I also read that thread, and it was the first thing I thought of. The price of the passport, and the hassle of getting it sure would have been a lot easier than missing the entire cruise. Mentally, and financially.

They could have flown to the first port and had a great cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCF Posted April 1, 2007 #5 Share Posted April 1, 2007 ....a passport number is going to be as important when you book your cruise as your credit card number! No passport...no cruise! And it's not a long tme off! Tom:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
